About Me

So 4 years and 27 countries later. Finally the light turns
on. I’m living in Dahab, Egypt chatting to family and friends on facebook and
skype with the standard talk of how they wish they could also travel. “What
have I been doing?” I say to myself, not blogging that’s for sure, and consequently
I started. While I may, I wish to apologize to you all (especially my family
and friends) for not blogging sooner. I came to the realization that my blog
can help people travel by providing great destinations, tips, advice and a
great deal more.

You can follow me to see where I’ve have been, what I’ve
done and seen (past and present) and how you can do the same. No matter how
comfortable you are, whether you have a house, partner, dog or a mortgage,
everyone can travel whilst staying within their comfort zone; it’s a lot
cheaper and simpler than you may think, and thats where I come in. In this blog you find out how to visit these amazing destinations without blowing your budget.

I keep this website full of rich thrilling and inspiring content, containing travel advice and tips with useful websites, visa types, accommodation, transport and much more. Whether you are a traveler or look to travel you will find this blog valuable. Constructive criticism, questions and comments are all welcomed, on the blog we like to help each other out.

About me – Jaryd Krause

It was back in 2005, I first left my continent in search of waves on a surf trip to Tonga, not taking much that was the life changing
experience that inspired me to travel the world. Yep the travel bug had not
only bitten hard but left an incredible infection along with the itch to see
more and more.

Before traveling, completing my plumbing apprenticeship was always a must; I even continued further studies into a business and gas licensing course for something to fall back on if I was ever in need of work on my travels, not only for that, but for a “job when you return home” as mum and
dad would say. In 2009 with my car sold, no tie downs and a one way ticket, I
left an empty bedroom at my parents house. Now I am a 25 year old male, from
the Gold Coast Australia, setting about the world laughing, living and loving
life in every aspect.

I forbid wasting my time and money going from place to place, to solely have a few touristy confirmation happy snaps, tick it off the
list and be done with it, without learning anything. In my 80’s I want to wake
up and say “Hell yea I have lived”. So I am visiting places, meeting amazing people, witnessing their cultures, living how they live, eating what they eat and it’s all just the beginning.

Travelers have a list, it may not be the same
destinations, but certainly the same in the sense that it continually grows. Every time we arrive somewhere, speak to a fellow traveler who’s just been and done something amazing, on to the list it goes.

Whilst I’m on the road, I tend to look back to previous
months or further, remembering countries, cities and towns I’ve visited,
sharing experiences among such humble and welcoming people from different
cultures, this is what also urges me to see more of the world. I only wish
everybody could feel this at least once in their life be it from a holiday or
even a weekend trip away.

Hi Jaryd, im deanna sallao from instragram and talkaboutbeauty.wordpress.com. i have been reading your blog for hours now. Thank you so much for inspiring me in so many ways. If you ever plan to go back here in the Philippines I would be more than happy to meet you and give you a tour. Shoot me an email deannasalla@gmail.com.

You are indeed doing great with your travels and we have the same passion. I have been traveling for years now but just landed a job to save for more travels in the future. Hit me back when you are in Bavaria, Germany. A cold beer is waiting for you..haha..happy and safe travels to you. Cheers!

Wow! Seems like you are living it! I wish I would have the courage to do that at your age. Im 23 and have passion like most people to travel, but I first need to build my future and the travel and do all those amazi things. I cannot imgine myelf doing all that for months ir years and not have a future or something succesful llike a business to lay back on. First its about time freedom and financial independence….then after that being accomplished, I can travel thy way you do it!!

Hey William, mate good on you for being so optimistic and passionate to succeed! I love that people such as yourself are driven. You see I am similar, and tried to start a business many times upon returning from my travels on numerous occasions. However, I realised that getting financial and setting up businesses could take years (there is NO get rich quick scheme). And I asked myself some hard questions like, if I die tomorrow, will I be happy with how I lived? So thats when I started living a life that would make me happy by ticking off all the things I wanted to see and do and then I started to build businesses and ways to make money around the lifestyle I wanted to live.

So there is no one way to live your life, but the best advice I can give to you is do what makes you happy and create a lifestyle you want to live and work out how to become financially independent around that. Sure it may seem tough, like one of those goals that is an unfathomable dream. But, like anything in life, if you want it bad enough, you will get it.
